Zhao Zhen felt that going to Tiemen Pass was an extremely correct choice. The Song Dynasty's control over Xinjiang Road was getting stronger and stronger, which also meant that the stable environment of Xinjiang Road was getting better and better.

In Gaochang City, Zhao Zhen experienced the northwest style, with the special food, fine wine, and of course the singing and dancing of beauties.

Gaochang City is a beautiful city, with the charm of the Western Regions everywhere, and the more it is on such a slightly desolate land, the higher the enthusiasm of people.

The open-minded and cheerful Uighur people were everywhere. The Song Dynasty did not adopt large-scale invasion to Xinjiang Road. This was somewhat similar to the Tubo Plateau, and it adopted the same assimilation policy as on the Tubo Plateau.

However, compared with the Tubo people on the plateau, the Uighurs in the Western Regions were more likely to assimilate, because they had been ruled by the Han family more than once, and even the kingdoms established themselves after independence preserved a large number of traces of Han civilization.

The Han family's things are not unfamiliar to them. Whether it is technology, culture, goods, or even laws, they are similar, which also makes the Song Dynasty ruled the Xinjiang Road quite fast.

The surrender of the Western Regions did not cause any thoughts to the local people, but the land where Xinjiang North Road once belonged to Hei Khan still believed in religion quite firmly.

The religion seems to be integrated into their blood and blood. Allah will always be their leader and God. Once faith is established, it will be difficult to destroy again. The more pious faith is, it will be like this.

Why was Buddhism so easily overthrown by Zhao Zhen in the Song Dynasty? It’s not because Zhao Zhen’s methods were so powerful and cruel. Compared with the large-scale national destruction of Buddhism in history, Zhao Zhen’s methods were already quite kind.

In the final analysis, the Han Buddhism has too many prayer functions. If the Han people want to get married and have children, they go to the temple. If they want to get promoted and make money, they have to go to the temple. How many people usually go to the temple?

I don’t have any wishes or demands. Who can go to the temple to see clay sculptures and monks? I’m full!

Therefore, while the Han people always feel awe of these religions, they also feel contempt from the bottom of their hearts. After all, it is just a tool for themselves to seek wealth and luck. Moreover, this thing is not very effective. How can something that is true if you believe, you don’t believe and not believe in it and take root in your heart?!

As for what you will always ask for, it is not God, but his own hands!

The universal values ​​of the Han family have been changed by Zhao Zhen. The changes in the Song Dynasty were so clear. Using your own hands to change the world and using your own brain to change the world. This is the most practical idea of ​​the Song people.

However, this is not very useful in some religion-brained lands. Zhao Zhen and Liu Yong discussed the pros and cons of the emergence of Hui and Islamic Buddhism on Xinjiang Road, so they read out the doctrines and scriptures of Hui and Islamic Buddhism.

Zhao Zhen and Liu Yong read the teachings of Islam and finally found that there were only three main points.

First, believe in God and His messengers, including Allah, believe in angels, believe in scriptures, letters, believe in the last word of judgment and resurrection after death, believe in the predecessor.

In Zhao Zhen's view, this is somewhat similar to Western Catholicism, but Liu Yong felt that although the doctrines between the two sides were different, there were almost the same in some places. Perhaps it was because of the similar doctrines that it was incompatible?

The second is the five lessons that must be completed: reciting, rituals, vegetarians, lessons, and courtesy.

The homework of verbalism is meditation. If it is difficult for a person to speak good words frequently, let him increase his meditation more and use the pure language that praises the Lord and the Saint to replace dirty words.

If it is difficult for a person to stick to the end when doing things, let him persevere in worship, which can train his perseverance toward things.

If people lack patience for things, let them insist on banning the annual master's fast. A month's fast can indeed increase his patience.

If people are stingy and not generous, then let them complete their stinginess, which can indeed restrain their stinginess. If people lack dedication to their careers, then let them complete their stinginess, because the singularity is indeed the dedication of their bodies, money and even life.

In Zhao Zhen's view, this point is quite meaningful for dynasty rule. He uses means to divert the attention of the people and let them use other methods and methods to relieve pain...

Third, good deeds refer to the need to abide by the moral norms of conduct stipulated by the prophet Muhammad in accordance with the guidance of the Quran. He recognizes and devotes his beliefs, practices religious lessons and scheming evil and promoting good, and forms the values ​​of the religion.

In Liu Yong's view, this is similar to Confucianism. Of course, it is also the direction that most religions persuade people to guide people to be kind.

Good and evil are the two simplest and purest emotions, which flow in human blood. Even the traitors and evil people will have a good heart, but this good heart is covered up.

Finally, Zhao Zhen decided to let it go. Since there are a large number of people who believe in religion on the North Road of Xinjiang, it is actually quite a hateful thing to let them continue their beliefs.

Zhao Zhen’s actions in the Song Dynasty were not to deprive him of firm belief, but to collapse the Song people’s already unreliable beliefs.

But Xinjiang North Road is different. The people there are the remnants of Black Khan, and many of them are even pure believers. At this time, they took cruel measures to deprive others of their faith, which was too inhumane, and of course they were also to avoid stimulating the Seljuk Empire.

After all, the state religion of the Seljuk Empire was still a religion. In this country, religion is highly valued. There are countless people who go to the holy city of Jerusalem to make pilgrimage every year.

Looking at the map, Zhao Zhen knew where the north Xinjiang road in the Song Dynasty was now. He had already arrived in Central Asia. This place was originally someone else's land and did not belong to the Han civilization.

Now that you have occupied other people's land and want to rule and manage others, you must respect their beliefs. Peaceful rule and transition are the best ways.

As for Liu Yong, he naturally agreed with Zhao Zhen's point of view. In his opinion, it is a good thing for the people to believe in, especially the Hui and Islamic religion that is good at doing good deeds.

He just didn't understand why the Hui Church, which advocated good deeds, was turned into a tool for practices everywhere by the Seljuks?

This question is easy to answer. Zhao Zhen personally answered Liu Yong's confusion: "Tugluk claimed to hold a scimitar with one hand and the other with the Quran. His purpose of attacking others was to make the pagans believe in Islam. His soldiers believed in Islam. After distorting the doctrine, some people were willing to give up their lives, wealth, and even life for the great cause of "preaching"!"

"Isn't there any man of knowledge against him?"

Zhao Zhen said with a wry smile: "So you need to read more and use your brain more. The Seljuks are similar to the previous Han dynasties. Most people are illiterate. Of course, they read fewer books, lack logic, and have no accurate judgment. A distorted Qur'an is enough to brainwash them. There were not people with insights who opposed Tugluk before, but as the territory of the Seljuk Empire became larger and stronger, the natural principle of opposition became smaller. In addition, Tugluk was good at managing and was recognized by the Caliph of the Abbas Dynasty. Do you think there will be anyone who opposes Tugluk now?"
